Several of these are having a first run over fences. Of those, Lindisfarne is worth a market check along with Ballybough Mary. But the latter’s yard also run Hang Tough, who has already won twice over the larger obstacles. Kingston King has plenty of chasing experience and was only beaten a nose at Southwell last month. ON THE PLATFORM was second in a race at Bangor in April which has produced several subsequent winners. John Groucott’s charge has also placed around here and is overdue a first success in this sphere. Bridge Road and Colemanstown Lad are others to consider.
